Redudancy and recovering from a mailstore failure is one of the concerns I am trying to address where I work.
Any plans to have Dovecot store emails in a database?
NAS/SAN devices which do automatic replication to a second device are extremely expensive.
I also don't see any distributed filesystem which is mature and available for the OS we use (FreeBSD).
I recall at one point, many months back, Timo mentioned that perhaps storing the messages in the database was a possibility for the future. Any additional thoughts on this? If you want to experiment with a inexpensive NAS with replication, look at Freenas. It can do nfs sharing and automatic replication with rsync. And it is free and based on Freebsd. Still immature, but it has a lot of promise.
